Big Weezer news to report, if you haven’t heard already – the new album will be called Weezer. Note the italics.

While there is, however, the possibility that all of the following information is false given that it was posted on Rolling Stone’s website yesterday and yesterday, as idiotic office colleagues no doubt reminded you, was April Fool’s day, we’re going to throw caution to the wind and go wild in the news column.

So, though it bears the rather limp moniker I mentioned beforehand, the band’s new album is apparently being referred to as the ‘Red Album’, following on from Green and Blue, of course.

The first single will apparently be called ‘Pork and Beans’ though that doesn’t tie in with earlier talk which had the new single marked down as one, 12 letter-long word beginning with ‘T’ and ending with ‘R’.
